As part of a working visit to Novosibirsk Oblast, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko held a meeting on the creation of the Siberian Ring Photon Source Collective Use Center (SKIF), and also assessed the progress of building construction, creation and installation of scientific equipment. Novosibirsk Oblast Governor Andrei Travnikov also took part in the events.
"Our President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly paid attention to the development of megascience class installations. One of the key ones is the Siberian Ring Photon Source shared use center. It is expected that the operation of this unique installation will allow for advanced research in many areas, including chemistry, physics, materials science, biology, and geology," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.
He added that earlier in August, a meeting of the council for the implementation of the Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Synchrotron and Neutron Research and Research Infrastructure for the Period up to 2030 and Beyond was held. In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized the importance of meeting deadlines for the work and developing cooperation with scientists from China.
Governor of Novosibirsk Region Andrey Travnikov spoke about plans for the development of the territory immediately adjacent to the SKIF Common Use Center: “We interviewed interested participants, primarily our scientists and researchers, studied foreign experience and determined that it is necessary to ensure comfortable stay and work at the SKIF Common Use Center for up to 500 people. To date, the development of the adjacent territory has been worked out in detail, the facilities that need to be located here have been clearly defined – this is an educational building for conducting lectures with arriving students and postgraduates, a physical education block, a small hotel block, an industrial zone – a technology park in the format of a shared use center, territories for the placement of production and laboratory facilities of key residents,” the head of the region noted.
Deputy Ministers of Science and Higher Education Denis Sekirinsky and Airat Gatiyatov, Director of the G.K. Boreskov Institute of Catalysis of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Valery Bukhtiyarov, and Director of the G.I. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Pavel Logachev spoke about the status of the creation of the SKIF Collective Use Center and its scientific program.
The Siberian Ring Photon Source Shared Use Center of the Institute of Catalysis SB RAS is a megascience-class scientific infrastructure facility with a generation 4 synchrotron, which is being built in the Novosibirsk science city of Koltsovo.
The SKIF Center for Collective Use is a complex of 34 buildings and structures, as well as engineering and technological equipment, providing for the implementation of scientific research on synchrotron radiation beams.
During the creation of the equipment for the accelerator complex of the SKIF Center for Collective Use, key positions were imported. Thus, in the shortest possible time, it was possible to establish the production of powerful high-frequency klystrons, power supplies for booster magnets, vacuum equipment, and others.
Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the equipment of the injection complex of the SKIF CCU – a linear accelerator and a booster synchrotron, where active work with the electron beam is underway. The linear accelerator has reached its design parameters. Stable beam circulation is ensured in the booster synchrotron.
The Deputy Prime Minister also inspected the experimental hall of the main storage facility, where the experimental stations will be located, and also familiarized himself with the final stages of creating the main storage facility equipment in the test facility and testing building.
